First line: Most people just call me Sophie/(which is the
name/on my birth certificate)/or Sof/or sometimes Sofa.
Why you should read this book: This easy-to-read novel in
verse offers a glimpse into the mind of fifteen-year-old Sophie, who enjoys
sketching, worries about her parents’ constant fighting, and thinks obsessively
about kissing boys. From the physical attraction to Dylan, which fizzles and
fades as she gets to know him better, to her intellectual desire for Murphy,
the least popular boy in her class, this honest story shows the progression of
Sophie’s growth. Along the way, she defies her mother, foils a cyber-predator,
gets improperly grabbed by a drunk sophomore, purchases five pairs of
ridiculous panties, and learns that things are going to be all right.
Why you shouldn’t read this book: You are disgusted by
teenagers with raging hormones.
